I’m generally a very forgetful person. I forget people’s names, my keys, my luggage, 2fa codes I saw 3 seconds ago, etc all the time. but for some reason I’ve never forgotten my hotel room number and needed to consult the written down number. this is weird because it’s an arbitrary number that I’m given once and have to remember for a few days.
They typically explain where the room is located right after giving you the number, which is almost like making a memory palace entry for you. Perhaps the memory is more robust when it includes a location along with the number?
